The inhibition of RNA synthesis was dose-dependent. Similarly, [3H]uridine incorporation into RNA of virus nucleocapsid and polyribosomes was completely inhibited by pretreatment with interferon. When interferon was added 2 hr after infection, there were only small effects on the synthesis of total virus-specific RNA and significantly greater reduction was observed in [3H]uridine incorporation into the RNA of nucleocapsid and polyribosomes. Although Sendai infection does not interfere with host-cell protein or RNA synthesis, interferon added 6 hr or later after infection did not affect any Sendai replicative functions., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/jgv/10.1099/0022-1317-9-2-141
